About
I approach each wedding with a few major goals in mind: First, to capture your day in a way that is artful, stylish, and heartfelt. The photos are the only part of your wedding you get to keep forever and that’s always top of mind for me. I want your images to take you back every time you look at them!
I also want you to have a fun, stress free day. A little-known fact about weddings is that you spend almost as much time with your photographer as you do with your partner. You want to make sure you vibe with the person who is going to be third-wheeling one of the biggest days of your life! I’m here to hype you up, calm you down, and be the friend who lets you know if you have something stuck in your teeth. It’s also super important to me that you get to actually be present and attend your own wedding. I’m a timeline expert and we’ll work together to make sure we get every shot without you missing too much of the party or any opportunities to take a minute to sneak away and hang out just the two of you.
Last, but absolutely not least, I want you to love how you look in your photos! A little camera shy? No problem. Most people are. I actually hate being photographed myself, but I’m a pro at posing other people without making it awkward. I’ll lead you step by step through prompts that will make you look like your best, most relaxed self. I also make all of my lighting and editing choices based on what’s going to make you glow. (Literally and figuratively?) Of course, if you love a chance ham it up or are a creative type, collaboration is always welcome! Just know that you won’t have to worry about what to do with your hands or finding the perfect backdrop if that’s not your thing.
FAQs
What packages do you offer?
Technically, none! Packages, in the traditional sense, tend to over complicate things. I offer flexible booking options that allow you to choose the exact number of hours of coverage you’d like with the option to add hours at any time, even on the fly on day of your wedding! Sometimes no matter how carefully you plan, you just don’t get around to cutting that cake on schedule. No big deal!
How many hours of coverage do I need?
I’m always happy to chat and figure that out together based on whatever plans you already have in place and what is important to you!
How much do you charge and what does it include?
Couples who have a full day, traditional wedding typically spend between $5500 and $6500. Couples who hire me for their elopement (10 guests or less) spend and average of $4000. All clients receive unlimited timeline planning assistance and a link to their hand edited digital gallery via email. Through your gallery, you’ll be able to download your photos, share to social media, purchase prints, and share the link with friends and family. You will also have the print rights for your photos. This means that you’re free to download and print wherever you’d like. If you need a print release form to use the company of your choice, just let me know!
How do we book you?
Follow the link below to the contact form and shoot me a message! After that, I’ll get back to you to set up a phone call to chat about your plans, questions, and the amount of coverage that’s right for you. The final steps to lock down your date are a signed contract and a $1500 retainer that’s put toward your total balance. This part is done securely online to keep it quick and painless!
How many photos will be in my gallery?
I guarantee a minimum of 50 photos per hour, but couples can generally expect anywhere from 50-100 photos per hour.
Do I need a second shooter?
The only situation that requires a second shooter is if you want photos of both you and your fiancé getting ready in completely different locations. Otherwise, it’s up to you! There are a lot of other benefits to booking a second shooter and we can definitely chat about if that’s something that would make sense for you.
Who will my second shooter be?
I’m pretty lucky to have a tight knit network of photographer friends who I get to work with on a regular basis. Everyone in my pool of second shooters is a seasoned professional who also runs their own photography business. I second shoot for them sometimes too! They’re all super nice, talented people who I work really well with. You’re in great hands!
When will I get my photos?
Galleries are delivered within 6-8 weeks after a wedding.
